Mr. H. E. Andre wes on Oriental Carabidne. 2 l J7 



outwardly, 3 very short ; labials with penultimate plurisetose 

 on inner margin. 



Maxillae slender, hooked at tip, inner margin ciliate. 



Eyes moderately prominent, not embraced behind by gense. 



Labrum elongate, truncate, plurisetose, and without 

 denticulations along front margin. 



Antennae clavate, pubescent, but only densely so from 

 (and including) joint 5 ; joints strongly transverse towards 

 extremity, joint 11=9 + 10. 



Sides of prothorax not much contracted behind, margins 

 more or less crenulate, without denticulations. 



Elytra elongate, parallel, an incision and recurved tooth at 

 external angle of apical truncature. 



Tarsal joints short ; in hind legs 1=2 + 3 + 4 = 5 ; claws 

 simple; underside of front tarsi naked, but I cannot dis- 

 tinguish the sexes. 



The type of the genus is D. bioculata m. 



The name is derived from a Kanarese word meaning "a 

 grain of corn." 



Dkanya bioculata, sp. n. 



Length 4 - mm. ; width 1*6 mm. 



Dark testaceous ; head, prothorax, and suture of elytra dull 

 red, antennae (except joint 1) fuscous; each elytron with a 

 roundish spot just before middle, not cpuite reaching margin 

 or suture, and apex black. 



Head elongate, smooth, shiny, moderately convex; frontal 

 fovea? large, fairly deep and rugose, a small curved impression 

 behind clypeal suture; sides longitudinally striate, bounded 

 outwardly by a ridge ; eyes small, antennae reaching a little 

 beyond base of prothorax; ligula hidden behind base of labial 

 palpi, labrum 8-setose along front margin. 



Prothorax transverse, moderately convex, shiny, rather 

 wider than head, equally contracted at extremities, widest at 

 middle, truncate at base, widely though slightly emarginate 

 at apex ; sides with a fine refiexed border, very faintly cre- 

 nulate towards base, gently rounded in front, with a wide 

 though slight sinuation before base, some setiferous pores 

 along sides and sides of front margin; both front and hind 

 angles about right, projecting a little laterally, median line 

 well marked, reaching base but not apex, a depressed and 

 finely granulate area near hind angles ; surface glabrous on 

 disk, sparsely pubescent near margin, finely striate along 

 base. 



Elytra convex, parallel, rather compressed at sides, half 

 as wide again as prothorax and three times as long, shoulders
